    All these games are must-see TV... and yet Apple TV didn't want to try and secure the Friday night game for its marquee schedule? (They're showing Cubs-Cardinals, Tigers-D'backs...)

    While I don't think baseball is in as bad shape as other national pundits or casual fans think... they do need to find a way to get the bigger games, bigger matchups, bigger in-season clashes visible to larger audiences.

    Just win.

    Does it matter? Not really, but any time we can shut the Yankees fan base up it’s fun.

    I'm shocked that Sunday game isn't on ESPN.

    The 2 best teams in the AL, 2 big markets, the 2 best hitters in the league, and significant recent history between them. This series checks every box you could want.

    This series is going to be LIT. As good as you can hope for in terms of summer baseball.

    Especially considering neither team has a getaway day. Astros off on Monday (and they are staying in NY to play the Mets) and the Yankees have a home game.

    Sunday night baseball has long been an also-ran of sorts. Rarely the two best teams. Same shitty ESPN production. Usually other better viewing options occurring concurrently, and most baseball fans actually enjoy attending day weekend games.

    There is definitely an opportunity to showcase the sport that they're just not doing on a national level right now. Friday night would be ideal... definitely not much competition on other networks, every team is in action, all prime-time games, etc.

    Wow look at that Yankee payroll. Its the highest 26 man payroll in MLB yet again. 65 million more than the Astros.

    The Yankess should be in the WS every year with that huge advantage. Its both infuriating and humorous to watch.

    It just comes to show that money can't buy championships. Gotta have the talent

    So we all know the Yankees payroll is crazy. But do you guys think judge deserves the money he has asked for based on his performance? From a baseball fans perspective

    No

    Too old for the length of contract he wants, and too much injury history

    Great hitter though

    ESPN is quite aware that Judge will not be viewed as a Top 2 hitter on Sunday after facing Valdez and Verlander.

    I was really hoping to see Verlander vs Cole. I guess sevy will be just as good

    So... was Blum's comment "that one kind of gave me a buzz, TK", a pointed remark (to all the conspiracy theorists out there) or just a coincidence? :)
